Selling A Home or Farm Property...
All sellers would like to sell their house for as much as possible, while all buyers would like to pay as little as possible. Market conditions, the desirability of the house, as well as how quickly you want it to sell are all things that Doug will consider when recommending a marketing strategy for selling your home. Most of the time, buyers and sellers find a middle ground, but there are always ways to pull the situation in your favor.  Doug Roberts knows how to help you determine the best asking price for your property and he can help you prepare your property for the market and explain the best way to present your property's best features and attributes.
  • Set your price judiciously. Today more than ever, it is important to price your home right at market.  Inventory is high and demand is low.  Homes are setting on the market for extended periods.  You want your home priced at the market.  Digger Doug can help with this.  Doug knows what homes are selling for and has access to data that can be very valuable when determining a price range for your home or property. One more thought, follow the retail hook by setting the price just below a whole number, ie. $189,000 instead of $190,000, there's a reason why this practice is popular.
     
  • Don't waste time. People look for the new listings when buying a house, so the longer your house is on the market, the less likely you are to be satisfied by agreed price. List your house in the spring or fall, when more buyers are looking. avoid slow periods in mid summer or mid winter.
     
  • Make your home a model home. After you've made repairs, you want to dazzle potential buyers who are willing to pay for a home in perfect condition. A little paint, floor polish, new fixtures, and new plants inside and out can make your home that much more appealing, and therefore more profitable.
